It doesn't matter what type of media you're looking at, trans-womxyn outnumber trans-men, whether it's Hollywood movies, or Youtube videos. In the case of "Lefttube", trans-womxyn even outnumber women. This is why accusations by trans-womxyn of women's supposed "cis privilege" is a sexist reversal of the power dynamic.

Also, let's not pretend that representation in entertainment media is the real or sole litmus test. Plenty of older trans-identified males are in incredibly powerful positions in society. Such as tech executive Martine Rothblatt - long famous for being "the highest paid woman in America" - billionaire heir and ex military man Jennifer Pritzker, and the much-honored writer and historian Jan Morris, who died in November at age 94. Morris spent nearly half a century as a "transwoman" and suffered no negative repercussions for it. On the contrary, Morris was constantly lionized, praised and given prestigious positions, publishing contracts and awards.
